Ayttm

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete. Ayttm, or "Are you talking to me?" is one of many many free instant messaging clients available today. I am unable to find anything particularly notable about this one. The most substantial thing I could find was in the book "Deploying Linux on the desktop‎" which has a passing blurb about it.

 * Keep. There’s a lot of mentions of Ayttm in the press linked at the bottom of the page — I wonder why the nom doesn’t consider any of these links notable?  Also, it’s GPL, and, yes, that is very cool.  Samboy (talk) 02:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The two Indian full-lenght articles have tint of national pride The Tribune,  Express Computer but they are coverage nonetheless. Also appeared in a round-ups IMPlanet, Unixreview, Deccan Herald. All that plus blurbs in two books:,  appear enough to me. Also, this the successor of Everybuddy (mentioned in the article, but not maintained since 2002), which has coverage of its own, although I'm not going list it here because ayttms' own coverage is enough.

 * Strong keep. This nomination, like a number of software noms by the same few editors, seems outright crazy and WP:POINTy.  This software is cited in multiple independent sources, indicating notability.  Moreover, the tone of the article is generally neutral, factual and informative.  Any moderate improvements to tone or content are just normal editing.  LotLE × talk  08:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Make that three mentions in books. The book Open Source Ecosystems has a case study on the architecture of three messengers, one of them being ayttm . --Siddheshp (talk) 08:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: Ayttm is default messaging client in Puppy Linux, which is listed 8th on Distrowatch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.89.170.92 (talk) 10:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - 24 Google news hits, and some of them seem pretty significant/reliable. Seems like it's valid for inclusion in my book.   Cocytus   [»talk«]  05:09, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
